Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is greatly influenced by French philosopher Jacques Rancière's and American physicist Richard Feynman's approaches. These approaches rely on two assumptions: (1) anyone is capable to thoroughly learn; and (2) there is always a more intuitive way to explain. Therefore, my primary aim as a teacher is to create an environment where high achievement is attainable by all my students.
